Jonas 1
1 Now the word of the Lord came to Jonas the son of Amathi, saying,
Amittai capa, Jonah koe ka tho e BAWIPA e lawk teh,
2 Rise, and go to Nineve, the great city, and preach in it; for the cry of its wickedness is come up to me.
Thaw haw, Nineveh khopui lah cet nateh, pakhinae hoi hramkhai haw. Hote khopui taminaw ni yonnae a sak awh e teh ka hmalah a pha toe telah a ti.
3 But Jonas rose up to flee to Tharsis from the presence of the Lord. And he went down to Joppa, and found a ship going to Tharsis: and he paid his fare, and went up into it, to sail with them to Tharsis from the presence of the Lord.
Hatei Jonah ni BAWIPA koehoi Tarshish kho lah yawng hane a kâcai. A thaw teh Joppa kho lah a cei teh a pha. Tarshish kho lah ka cet e long hoi a kâhmo teh, kâcuinae phu a poe teh Cathut koehoi long kamawngnaw hoi Tarshish kho lah reirei cei hanelah long a kâcui.
4 And the Lord raised up a wind on the sea; and there was a great storm on the sea, and the ship was in danger of being broken.
Cathut ni kahlî katang poung e tuipui koe a patoun dawkvah, tuipui dawk athakaawme tuicapa a thaw teh long meimei a kamko.
5 And the sailors were alarmed, and cried every one to his god, and cast out the wares that were in the ship into the sea, that it might be lightened of them. But Jonas was gone down into the hold of the ship, and was asleep, and snored.
Hatnavah long kamawngnaw ni a taki awh teh a cathut lengkaleng a kaw awh. Long a pâhaw nahanlah hnopainaw tui dawk a tâkhawng awh. Jonah teh long e vonpui koe a kum teh hawvah mat a i.
6 And the shipmaster came to him, and said to him, Why snorest thou? arise, and call upon thy God, that God may save us, and we perish not.
Long kaukkung a tho teh, Oe mat na ka ip e tami, bangtelane thaw haw. Na Cathut koe ratoum haw, maimouh hlout nahanlah ahni ni doum a thai talang teh atipouh.
7 And each man said to his neighbour, Come, let us cast lots, and find out for whose sake this mischief is upon us. So they cast lots, and the lot fell upon Jonas.
Ahnimouh ni be tho awh haw, apie yon kecu dawk ne hete hno a tâco tie panue thai nahanlah cungpam rayu a sei ati awh teh a kâpan awh. Hathnukkhu cungpam a rayu awh boteh, Jonah tak dawk a bo.
8 And they said to him, Tell us what is thine occupation, and whence comest thou, and of what country and what people art thou?
Ahnimouh ni bang e yon dawk maw hete hno a tâco dei haw. Nâ hoi maw na tho. Bang thaw maw na tawk. Api ram, api miphun maw telah a pacei awh.
9 And he said to them, I am a servant of the Lord; and I worship the Lord God of heaven, who made the sea, and the dry [land].
Jonah ni kai teh Hebru miphun, tui hoi talai kasakkung kalvan e Jehovah Cathut ka bawk e doeh telah atipouh.
10 Then the men feared exceedingly, and said to him, What is this [that] thou hast done? for the men knew that he was fleeing from the face of the Lord, because he had told them.
Ahnimouh ni thouk a taki awh dawkvah, bangkongmaw hettelah na sak vaw telah a pacei awh. Jonah ni Cathut koehoi ka yawng tie a kâpâpho dawkvah a panue awh.
11 And they said to him, What shall we do to thee, that the sea may be calm to us? for the sea rose, and lifted its wave exceedingly.
Hatnavah tuicapa teh hoe a thaw dawkvah, ahnimouh ni tuicapa a roum nahanlah nang dawk bangmaw ka sak awh han telah a pacei awh navah,
12 And Jonas said to them, Take me up, and cast me into the sea, and the sea shall be calm to you: for I know that for my sake this great tempest is upon you.
Kai heh na tawm awh nateh tui dawk na tâkhawng awh lawih. Hottelah na tâkhawng awh pawiteh tuicapa a roum han. Hete tûilî ka tho e teh kai kecu dawk doeh a tho tie ka panue atipouh.
13 And the men tried hard to return to the land, and were not able: for the sea rose and grew more and more tempestuous against them.
Hatei, long kamawngnaw ni namran lah pha thai nahanelah tha hoi tuisam a la awh eiteh, hoehoe tuicapa a thaw dawkvah bang ati thai awh hoeh torei teh,
14 And they cried to the Lord, and said, Forbid it, Lord: let us not perish for the sake of this man's life, and bring not righteous blood upon us: for thou, Lord, hast done as thou wouldest.
Oe, BAWIPA kaimouh ni ngaithoumnae kâhei awh. Oe Jehovah, hete tami e a hringnae kecu dawk kaimouh koe thoenae phat hanh naseh. Yon ka tawn hoeh e tami hringnae ka thei awh dawkvah yonnae teh kaimouh koe na pen hanh. Oe BAWIPA, nang teh namamouh ni na ngai e patetlah doeh na sak telah a hram awh teh,
15 So they took Jonas, and cast him out into the sea: and the sea ceased from its raging.
Jonah hah dawk a tawm awh teh tui dawk a tâkhawng awh. Hattoteh tuicapa a roum.
16 And the men feared the Lord very greatly, and offered a sacrifice to the Lord, and vowed vows.
Long kamawngnaw ni hai Cathut a taki awh teh thuengnae a sak awh hnukkhu lawk a kam awh.
17 Now the Lord had commanded a great whale to swallow up Jonas: and Jonas was in the belly of the whale three days and three nights.
Cathut ni Jonah ka payawp hanelah tangapui a hmoun e patetlah Jonah teh tanga von thungvah hnin thum rum thum touh ao.
